My experience over the years has stopped me from using "inspection services" for a vehicle that I can't see. Waist of money, IMO. I had a NCRS judge inspect a car in CT because I didn't want to travel to NJ in January. I purchase the car with his report and when it arrived I immediately list it for sale and parted with it. I have learned that if you are "fussy" and the car seems to be the right fit, travel to inspect and drive it yourself. But hey, that's just me....

I agree 100%, as have had a similar experience. If I'm not interested enough in a car to invest the time and $ to inspect it, then I pass.
